Incident Command System (United States)

Required in the U.S. for disaster response. This is a bit of brainstorming on what is needed to fit into ICS for use by Citizen Corps programs (CERT, Neighborhood Watch, etc.) Initial version not quite done... still thinking about best way to organize people, roles, incidents, schedules... NDA

Because one of the principles of ICS is that it can be used for all sorts of "incidents," including training, exercises, etc., this model treats everything it possibly can as an incident, using incident types to distinguish. Part of the intent is to encourage teams to use ICS regularly.

Components

• Location: address, coordinate, postal info
• Person: individual
• Role: hierarchy of structure and command
• Organization: companies, teams, agencies, etc., with inter-relationships
• Membership: relationship of people to organizations
• Incident: deployment, training, exercise, debriefing, etc.
• Credential: training, skill, certification, vaccinations, etc.
• Prerequisite: what credentials needed before a person can participate in an incident
• Event: what happened at a particular time and place; logging
• Equipment: personal and organizational gear
• Resource: supplier of equipment, skills, etc.
• Project: workflow for planning and management
• Email: contact info
• Phone: contact info
• Web page: associated with people, organizations, resources

Functions

• Add, modify, remove each kind of component
• Generate lists of each kind of component
• Print identification cards/badges
• Keep track of who is active, by neighborhood and city; ping inactive people
• Select individuals by various criteria, then send notifications
• Interface to calendar, recurring automatic emails for meeting notifications
• Issue training certificate
• Alerting - instant messaging, SMS, printed phone tree generation
• Export KML data for mapping, with symbols
• Dashboards for incidents, teams, resources, projects
• Training reports - who needs which courses, what expires soon?
• ICS/NIMS forms
• Access control
• Automatic data dump to forms suitable for laptops, mobile - cache critical data for when network is down.
• Data import
• Per-volunteer web pages (wiki) with controls on what to make public, links to social network sites
• MORE TBD
